Supermodel Kate Moss is suffering from a nerve disorder that has rendered her "temporarily paralysed", according to friends.
Moss was diagnosed with the condition last weekend after returning from Paris, where she woke up at the Ritz Hotel unable to move her right arm and hand.
Although she will make a full recovery, the illness is a blow for Moss, 38, who is about to move into her £7.25 million (Dh42.14 million) new home in Highgate, North London, with husband Jamie Hince, 43. The couple have built a state-of-the-art gym at the property, but it will be some time before Moss is pumping iron.
"Kate was at the Ritz when she woke and had no feeling in her arm, which was terrifying," says a friend. "She saw the hotel's doctor and when she came back, she got a second opinion.
"She has told her friends she has ulnar nerve entrapment, a common disorder that can result in a temporary paralysis."
For the time-being, an unhappy Moss has told friends she cannot even take the lid off a jar.
"Jamie will do most of the unpacking as Kate has been in a lot of pain," says the friend. "She was told the condition could take months to heal. She has told all her friends about her hospital drama."
